Cameron's+Letter

Dear Great Aunt Anne,

Today I return to my sweet lonely home. The grievous trip on the Forfarshire has ended with a surprising amount of great sadness. Your husband has been a lovely saint because he saved my life. I will repay you for as long as I live with love and I will replace your husband, Samuel, as best I can. Samuel and your two sons, Thomas and Gabriel, have passed away into the nearby heaven. I will see you in 3 short days.

Everything on the boat trip was working perfectly as we left Hull for our long voyage through the North Sea. The captain was a sly dog and lied to the passengers about the ship. The engine boilers were broken as we left, but the horribly stupid captain went on. Soon enough, of course, there was a violent storm that arose angrily in the North Sea. At that point we hadf made a dreadful decision didn’t have a choice; we had to sail on… However the demented and pathetic captains boilers failed and the engines stopped.

Then we have realized that there was one lifeboat that only nine of us out of sixty could get in and that would be first class priorly. All of us were convinced our lives would end in the next few hours. Soon, the ship broke apart. I was trapped and there was a boulder of cargo falling on me I saw my parents drowning with terror on their faces. I begged God to let me out of this. My parents died. the cargo began falling on me, I waited for death… It didn’t happen. Ninety year old Grandpa had saved me and now he was lying on the deck with 500 pound cargo on top of him. I went up to him with grief and I will never forget his meaningful words. “Help Anne, save her, cherish her.” I strongly said “I will” Then I begged him not to die.

I was determined I will not die. The boat tipped over. I held my breath underwater. I thought I was going to die But with so much power I swam under the boat. I just made it on to the treacherous rocks; I have sat sitting there in mercy hoping to be saved. Soon enough my prayers had been heard. I saw an agile and determined 20 year old girl and a sick old man riding threw the waves to save me and a few other desperate strangers I didn't even know. They had a tiny flat bottomed rowboat. The strangers were pleading them to save them. For a few minutes I lost my hope. But I saw the girl pushing past and fighting the waves with all her might. They finally arrived at the rocks and the man came to get us we piled in the boat and all left with great joy.

We stayed at their darling house for a few nights. They were incredibly kind and generous people. I couldn't enjoy it because my mind was swept in sadness. I had quickly found a ship to Dundee.

I will keep my promise and will help you all your life. I hope to see you soon.

With Love, Cameron

Dear Cameron.

It is your dear great aunt Anne. I am overwhelmed with this tragedy. Although I am terribly sad about my husband and kids, I am grateful that you can return to me. You shall be the only family I have left. I am very unhappy at that captain you are right he was demented and pathetic. How could a person be that evil? He basically just killed 40 people! He probably just wanted the money. I hate those kind of people who risk other peoples lives just for money.

Did you break anything? Did you loose anything important? Hows your back, I know about your back injury? Sorry if you come home and I'm in a sad state, I almost had a mental break-down. How is your cousin, Anyway, How are you going to make it back home? Will you take a train of ride horse back? What about money, do you have enough money to make it back? Oh why am a worrying of course you"ll make it back. Though you should be careful, I had heard of a large storm is comming. God bless the Darlings without them you mightive died.
